New Jersey’s Commitment to Community. 

We Are Not Going Back!

New Jersey has made significant progress in advancing inclusion, independence, and community-based support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). 

NJACP is committed to building on this progress by strengthening Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) and ensuring that individuals with IDD have the opportunity to live, work, and participate fully in their communities.

The NJACP Commitment to Community Pledge calls on New Jersey legislators and policymakers to continue the bipartisan commitment to protecting individual choice, promoting independence, and expanding access to high-quality community-based services.

What Can NJACP Members Do?

Help Us Thank Lawmakers for Standing Up for Community Living.

Each time a lawmaker signs NJACP's Commitment to Community Pledge, we'll recognize their commitment on social media.

We're asking members to help amplify that message and thank lawmakers for standing behind New Jersey's progress.

• Share NJACP's posts and add your own message of thanks.

• Reach out directly with a brief email, phone call, or social media post (sample messages provided below to make it as easy as possible!).



• Encourage individuals, families, and staff to share why community living matters to them.

Please include #InclusionImpactNJ in your social media posts.

Our collective voice matters.

Every message reinforces what is at stake and why New Jersey must continue moving forward, not backward.
